Home-made pizza

This Monday, by older son's school had an inset day, and we wanted to do something special at home. So I thought we could try making pizza... again.
I have to say, I do not have the best track record with pizza dough. We've had some bad ones since I started trying to make them. The kids and my husband have been very supportive and optimistic, and it seems to have paid off, as this latest attempt actually turned out alright!

This is the recipe I used for the dough (from the BBC Goodfood website)

Just mix until they come together as a smooth sauce. Waited about half an hour for the dough to raise a little bit

I preheated the oven to 220 degrees Celsius and alsp preheated to bake trays(, as I have had problems with the dough being undercooked in the past...)
We made two bases, being careful not to make them too thin, (approximately 1 cm) (another issue I have had...)
Put bases into the oven for about 2 minutes.
Took them out of the oven, smeared them with sauce grated cheese, sausages and fresh basil.

Note: I had some left over pizza sauce (about half). It lasts for a week or so in the fridge and it is a great sauce for quesadias or grill cheese sandwiches. In fact, I sometimes make quick and easy mini pizzas from English Muffins with this sauce!

About Me

I am a mom of two boys who likes to craft and stitch. I realized how great felt is for sewing and crafting a little while back and am now hooked. I am also interested in re-purposing and reusing old clothes and fabrics.
I created this blog so I could have an overview of the things I/we make and so that I can share the outcome of my various projects with friends and family.
